2 Ways to Solve File Explorer Windows 10 Not Responding

In this article, I will discuss how to deal with an Windows file explorer not responding, I experienced it a long time ago, to be precise when using an old laptop using Windows 7 where opening the loading folder took a long time. , and almost no response (that means the Background turns white and you can't click anything) but after waiting some more the file finally opens.

My guess is that the laptop is outdated, where at that time the laptop only uses 1 Intel Celeron core (plus using a hard drive). The proof is when I use the latest laptop and use Windows 10 the problem of not responding is gone, only a little loading when I just bought it because I still use a hard drive and haven't bought an SSD.

Even though I have never experienced it on Windows 10, I want to share my knowledge when surfing the internet, namely I found an article to solve Windows 10 file explorer that doesn't respond.

I think it's also interesting to write an article, and it can help you if you have a computer problem that doesn't respond (that's why I wrote this article). For those of you who want to get to the point, I will immediately explain below how to deal with a Windows file explorer not responding.
  1. The first thing you need to do is open the windows control panel menu, you can search for it in the search menu to find it.

In the above step, in my opinion, we clean the history of the file explorer that we have done, this is so that Windows doesn't get too heavy reading files that we have opened before, examples of things that make it heavy, such as large or damaged files that make the hard disk take too much time long to read it.

Actually the tutorial has been completed, but if it doesn't work then you can try the second method below, it's still connected like the steps above, an additional step that needs to be done is that you need to change the file explorer to open This PC instead of Quick Access (can follow the picture below), and after it's done please click apply and ok.

So the tutorial is finished now, if the 2 methods above are also ineffective, I suggest you to check the file storage hardware (hard disk or SSD), because the file explorer must be related to the saved files. maybe your storage device has started to crash, making it slow and making files become corrupted. If it is damaged, replace it immediately, don't regret it later.

OK, good luck, but if my tutorials and suggestions above didn't work, I'm sorry, please try to find solutions in other articles on the internet, and if you're happy to find other, more effective solutions, share them in the comments, so help people. other, you can also ask if you have anything to ask. see you again
